Patient stories and resources

We want patients to get through treatment and back in motion as quickly and painlessly as possible. The journey isn’t always easy, but there are many others who have gone before you — and they have a lot to say. Many have gone through treatment and gotten back to work and doing the things they love.

In the Condition Center we offer you resources that may make your experience easier, and connect you with patients who have stories you might learn from. Consider leaving your own story to help other patients in the future. If you choose to do so, think about the things you wish you would have known, and any advice you would leave for people going through the same thing you did.
